Dillon Francis, born Dillon Hart Francis on October 5, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, emerged in the electronic dance music scene around 2010. He gained recognition for pioneering moombahton, a genre fusing slowed-down reggaeton with electro house influences, debuting with tracks like 'Sandwiches' alongside Dirty Nasty and the Swashbuckler EP on Play Me Records. Francis joined Diplo's Mad Decent label, releasing hits such as 'Que Que' with Diplo and Maluca in 2011, and 'Masta Blasta (The Rebirth)' in 2012, which became the first moombahton track to top Beatport charts. His 2014 debut album Money Sucks, Friends Rule featured collaborations including 'Get Low' with DJ Snake, which achieved multi-platinum status internationally. This was followed by the 2015 mixtape This Mixtape Is Fire TOO and the 2018 album Wut Wut. Known for high-energy live performances, Francis has headlined festivals like Coachella, EDC, and Ultra, blending house, trap, and moombahton in sets that incorporate his humorous persona.
